Nothing happens unless first a dream <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Carl Sandburg


Scratched, bruised and bleeding
Her broken heart aches
The boy she loves is in his grave

Gone away to war
Fighting for his country
Scratched, bruised and bleeding

The guns fire again and again
In red, white, and blue
The boy she loves is in his grave

Dressed in black
Shooting then shot
Scratched, bruised and bleeding

Gone with the wind
Broken and skinned
The boy she loves is in his grave

Gone to serve
Now in the earth
Scratched, bruised and bleeding
The boy she loves is in his grave
